That would depend on your age and any qualifications you might have.

If you're young then I suggest fast food to start off, or maybe try going through a temporary service.

anywhere. Find every grocery store, fast food place u can because thats the only realistic first job you'll get (thats where everyone starts). Also see if theres a grocery store chain or a food chain with a website where you can apply online.

If it is your first job then I would get a job that is considered to be hard work like landscaping, framing, construction, etc. This way you will learn to work hard and will also learn to appreciate your long-term career especially if it is a white-collar job.

Get a job that pays well no matter how hard it is, don't be a BEEP and do something lazy with poor pay like working at Hollister or Abercrombie LOL.

clothes stores are for people that want clothes anyway. Half the time you spend more in monthly required purchases than you make even with a discount. Besides if you are a big enough w***e to work at one of those stores why dont you just step it up a notch and just become an actual w***e. At least the pay will be better and hey free condoms at the health clinic!

Allot of appliances, clothes, and fast food are best for starters. But many have said fast food does not suit their style...personally I agree and will stick to appliances/clothes as a start up...good luck Smile

the key is to never let on that you only want to work for the summer, you want to at least pretend you are there for long term

Your age. have you gone to college. Any sort of education. The more education you get the better pay.

15 years old is the youngest legal work to put you on payroll.

The job market are economy is very down so it is very hard to get a job anywhere.

The job market right now is trash. Good luck finding a job anywhere.

Stay away from retail.

Rob a bank. If you get away with it you have the money. If you get caught you get 3 meals a day and maybe even a pool.

I suggest to go to a Votech in your highschool that is suitable for something you like. Maybe you'll decide to stick with it and go to college for it and earn a degree.

There's always the military Wink . If i was in better shape i would join up myself. It's always been something that interests me. You get paid to go to school and then you get to basically do whatever you want and everything free. Military is pretty cush imo.
